Djoueatyet?
'Djou'
Ha!  ;D

Huh?
I was just saying that 'Djou' sounds funny, that's all. I had never seen that. When you said, "Huh?' I thought I had gotten it wrong.  :-[ But it does mean 'did you,' Correct?  :-\

I could think of 10 English phrases that don't exist in English.

Why don't that just beat all?!?!

Djoueatyet?

This can be shortened even more to "jeetyet?"

Apparently the answer to this would be "yes, plenty of letters."

(I'm not thinking nonsense, am I? That's supposed to be 'did you eat yet?')

Indeed you are correct.

How about this one though; "He gone to da hoose."

That's the Tidewater accent. Very rare to hear any more.

He's gone to the house?
